Celebrity Justice
Lutfi Won't Face Off With Brit's Parents in Court

Sam Lutfi tells TMZ he's not going to show up for the court hearing today.

TMZ broke the story about Britney's parents going to court in an attempt to establish a conservatorship. They believe Lutfi is placing their daughter's health and assets at risk.

Lutfi says he is "appalled and disgusted" that the parents have gone to court, adding that "Britney is in control of her assets and her business manager is in control of her assets." Lutfi says his lawyers are discussing his legal options.

Sources say Britney's medical status right now is "gravely disabled."

9. Sam is disgusting, he is greedy and needs to get a job working at McDonalds. He is a nobody and should be applausing her parents for what they are doing in court today. He makes me sick. He doesn't get credit for nothing because he is nothing but a big belly loser.

10. Her parents only get involved with her, when $$ is involved....

On the bright side, she is getting the help she needs, that's always good.

14. Why is he consulting with his attorneys? What "legal options" could this guy have? He's an alleged friend, not a family member nor a court-appointed guardian.

15. He's disgusting. I actually feel sorry for Britney. It's not funny anymore and I hope she gets better.
I want her to get better for her kids.

She's in my prayers.
